We had a great time. Wonderful location and beautiful setting. Campsites were spacious also. Only down side was we couldn’t get the women’s restrooms or showers to get hot water.

Campsite #20 was perfect! We loved sitting outside our little teardrop camper and watching the beautiful sunsets. It was so peaceful and relaxing!

Had a great time at this location. We were on top of hill and had full hook ups which is really nice. Sure wish all sites had full hook ups. The only thing on this trip was a burn ban the first week and a half. Ban lifted and really enjoyed sitting around fire visiting with other campers.

Campground and washroom facilities were clean as always. I have stayed at this campground for the last few years in the fall and the views were awesome. The two tent only sites are now available to be reserved online. They also now have electricity to both tent sites. They used to be a first come - first served sites. It was difficult to book online since the cell service at this campsite is limited. We had to go to the top of the hill at the Narrows Dam campsites to reserve our site.

Site 25 is washed out right where our front right Jack was lowered. Had to put some blocks under the Jack, but due to the unlevelness it looked like it might slip, chocked all the wheels on the trailer, but it didn’t look very safe, also the incline leading up to the pad was very steep. The front jacks had to be almost fully extended to level trailer, that makes it a little shaky.

Great place, but the lack of signs or directions once you arrive was a little frustrating. There was not anyone in any station.
